SCHUMANN: Piano music [CD de audio] Klára Würtz and Schumann

Robert Schumann was the master of the miniature, the small form, the sketch that characterizes a person, a landscape, a mood or an idea. The three piano cycles presented on this CD offer a wide variety of emotions, from the sublime calm of a summer afternoon (Des Abends), the intimacy of a dream (Träumerei), the flight of young passion (Aufschwung) to the sinister atmosphere of a dark night (In der Nacht). Hungarian pianist Klára Würtz is the ideal guide in this world of Schumannesque fantasy: poetry and drive. Sharp lyricism. The best complete Schumann cycle recorded by a pianist (Jed Distler, Classics Today).
